Launch Notepad++ by right-clicking on its desktop shortcut and then choosing Run as administrator.If you want to be able to open and edit these files using an advanced text editor like Notepad++, then you can follow these steps: But even after you install Notepad++ in Windows, it is not set as the default program to handle the TXT or LOG files. Many people choose to use Notepad++ instead of the Notepad for editing the TXT files. In a fresh installation of Windows, it is set as the default program to open TXT and LOG files. But it is rather limited in text-editing features and might hangup with you try to open a large text file in it. I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program.Everyone has used the Notepad text editor that comes with all the versions of Windows including Windows 10. Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug. Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort". Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug. Here is a link to a bug report about it (on an official Notepad++ web site): There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document. So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix.
